Menoventi’s theatre is made of boxes with other boxes inside. Inside are actors and actresses pretending to pretend, directed by directors who are playing themselves. Someone has described direction as a dam where the audience’s perception may move, but Menoventi’s theatre, on closer inspection, also always conceals an invitation to break such a dam, so that water gushes.
